SONIA RYKIEL at H&M!

Looking at these brilliantly colored macarons...Reminds me of Sonia Rykiel's fashions. I used to wear her exclusively back in the day when she was affordable...Manana I'll be on the Sonia bus Rushing to H&M to catch a few affordableSonias!!! I have my eye on a few pieces-heck I'm going to the bank with a big garbage bag first...

I still have a tiny bag with these stripes I bought in the CDG airport a few years ago...

In the beginning, when I first started to painted macarons, I loved the meringue cookie but not the innerds. I used to regularly scrape out the filling. Not an easy thing to do with a P.Herme macaron either.That was before I tasted a PH passion fruit mac - they finished me.

I've enjoyed your daily PB blasts immensely. I, too, am a Paris-loving dedicated New Yorker, dog lover and artist. Have you seen the delectable-looking macarons are now available for purchase withouteating at the restaurant that makes them, Adour at the St. Regis onFifth Avenue. You can buy them in boxes, or order them in cateringquantities. See Adour-St. Regis.com

I went this morning to the H&M near Galerie Lafayette! I lined up before the store opened, got in 20 minutes after the opening, and grabbed a few stripey things. Later today I went back and only a few bracelets and shoes are left of the Rykiel stuff.

I'm in Paris having Laduree macarons for the first time after reading this blog for... a couple years? Macarons are delicious as well as pretty! In Printemps right now there is an Alice in Wonderland themed Laduree. I bought macarons in the special Alice box, and found out it's also a wind-up music box! I took a few pictures before eating.

Hmm this was a long comment... Thank you for inspiring me to try macarons and collect the box as well :)

Hilarious—the first thing I grabbed was the black blazer!!!!! And a pink and white striped sweater, the multistriped sweater, the sun dress, the pink and black short sleeved sweater, socks and the scarf. There were lots of woman our age there but lots of 20s, too. It was a mob scene.BTW—our store got one sweater in large—everything else was XS, S, M—thank God the mediums fit.

AHHHHH....i am so glad i read your post yesterday.....went to H&M in so calif at 10 this morning.......must admit it was crazy.....but oh so fun!!!!! ....got a few items....AND the stripey sweater......thanks for the heads up.....
